She sounds normal to me! Caleb just now learned how to open doors (darn it). He's been talking since he was 9 months but my bff's three years old JUST started being able to communicate beyond a few syllables and his pediatrician said the same thing. Not to worry because he is trying. He's catching up at a rapid pace now.

Also, Caleb shows NO interest in potty training. Yesterday was his 2 year checkup and the ped said that if he hasn't STARTED training by four then we can look into why but at two he is absolutely NOT worried about it at all.

My little girl just turned two yesterday and is showing no interest in the potty and is just now starting to say words other than "mama", "dada", etc. She just started opening doors about a two or three months ago. I think some kids just take a little longer to hit certain milestones. Does your little one spend alot of time with other kids? Just curious because I've noticed that most of my friends that have children in daycare say their kids started talking earlier than those who are home. Not sure if there's any real correlation - but it makes sense to me. Try not to worry too much - I'm sure our litttle ones will be talking up a storm soon.

She sounds normal to me. My son will be 2 on the 16th and he has been behind for a while now. He does open doors tho, but he doesn't have too many words, refuses a cup and won't eat alone either so I am betting she is just fine! They all develop differently. I did notice when he was in daycare he picked up a lot of things. I think having them around their peers is great in helping them develop and pick things up.

DD turned 2 April 4th...she can only open doors with latches not knobs but hve a vocabulary of about 60-80 words..mayb more..she can say full sentences...I think they grow and learn at different stages...my DD is in daycare full time so I believe that's where she picks up alot

She sounds normal to me! DD turned 2 on the 7th and she has no interest in potty training, she thinks it's a game!! She can't open doors with knobs. She has a huge vocabulary however, she said 'hi' for the first time at 9 months and ever since has just been crazy about words! All children learn and develop differently so I wouldn't worry! Also, I know children will talk less if things are always done for them!

My little guy will be 2 on the 28th... he is not talking much yet either... he wants nothing to do with potty trainning and can't open doors (he can unlock, but hasn't figured out the whole twisting the knob thing)...

He is right on track... so don't worry :)

Dont worry!

my son was also talking by 9 months, he could say about 10 words clearly and had a bunch of words that we recognized (ex. bikes were dew-kas). At two years old he talks clearly, full sentences, and difficult words like 'passengers' and 'receptacle'. Speech just happens to be his particular strength. I also attribute a lot of his vocabulary clarity to these videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/KidsTV123. To the OP, all kids develop at their own pace, some don't talk until the age of 3, and once they start to really talk it's amazing how their vocabulary just takes off! If they are able to follow directions, and understand what you are saying then try not to worry :)

I'm afraid so! Even the ped was surprised. I'm not saying he was completing sentences or anything like that but he was able to say no, mama, dada, snake (sounded like 'nake), dog, and a host of other small words.

Man, I do have to say that Americans are über obsessed with taking the little ones to see a therapist - when at 2 years old they somehow expecting their kids to do more than they can take in. What do you guys developing nations do when they have 2 or 3 year olds that aren't speaking? Hello...leave these kids alone...let them be kids...they will speak when they are ready!!

my daughter is almost 2 1/2, she doesnt talk much, not potty trained, we are having a speech therapist work with her soon. i personally think shes stubborn(go figure shes a red headed aries lol) i feel she might not talk much, but she can count to 10 and can recognize shapes and letters so shes not too far behind. I think some kids just need a little longer to go at their own pace. My daughter is also an extremely picky eater..we just got her to eat chicken patties..she lives basically off of yogurt, fruit, pancakes, french toast, waffles, grilled cheese, pb and j..i also give her carnation instant breakfast so at least i know shes getting minerals and vitamins shes missing out on.
